\d For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David.

\q
|
|
\v 1 Give ear to my prayer, God;
|
|
\q and do not hide yourself from my plea.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Pay attention to me and answer me;
|
|
\q I have no rest in my troubles
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 because of the voice of my enemies,
|
|
\q because of the oppression of the wicked;
|
|
\q for they bring trouble on me
|
|
\q and persecute me in anger.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 My heart trembles within me,
|
|
\q and the terrors of death have fallen on me.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me,
|
|
\q and horror has overwhelmed me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 I said, "Oh, if only I had wings like a dove!
|
|
\q Then would I fly away and be at rest.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 See, then I would wander far away;
|
|
\q I would stay in the wilderness.

|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 I would hurry to a shelter
|
|
\q from the stormy wind and tempest."
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 Devour them, Lord, confuse their language!
|
|
\q For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
|
|

|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 Day and night they go about on its walls;
|
|
\q iniquity and mischief are in the middle of it.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 Wickedness is in the middle of it;
|
|
\q oppression and deceit do not leave its streets.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 For it was not an enemy who rebuked me,
|
|
\q then I could have borne it;
|
|
\q neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me,
|
|
\q then I would have hidden myself from him.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 But it was you, a man equal to myself,
|
|
\q my companion and my close friend.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 We had sweet fellowship together;
|
|
\q we walked in the house of God with the throng.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 Let death come suddenly on them;
|
|
\q let them go down alive to Sheol,
|
|
\q for wickedness is where they live, right among them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 As for me, I will call on God,
|
|
\q and Yahweh will save me.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 In the evening, morning and at noonday I complain and moan;
|
|
\q he will hear my voice.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 He will safely rescue my life from the battle that was against me,
|
|
\q for those who fought against me were many.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 God, the one who rules from eternity,
|
|
\q will hear them and humiliate them.
|
|
\qs Selah\qs*
|
|
\q They never change,
|
|
\q and they do not fear God.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 My friend has raised his hands against those who were at peace with him;
|
|
\q he has not respected the covenant that he had.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 His mouth was smooth as butter,
|
|
\q but his heart was hostile;
|
|
\q his words were softer than oil,
|
|
\q yet they were actually drawn swords.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 Place your burdens on Yahweh, and he will sustain you;
|
|
\q he will never allow a righteous person to totter.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 23 But you, God, will bring the wicked down into the pit of destruction;
|
|
\q bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live even half as long as others,
|
|
\q but I will trust in you.
